ESFJs are warm-hearted individuals who highly value their close personal
relationships. They are very service-oriented, and their own happiness is
closely tied into the happiness and comfort of those around them. They are
valued for their genuine warm and caring natures, and their special ability
to bring out the best in others. They usually do not handle conflict well,
and may tend to be very controlling or manipulative. Relationships are
central to their lives, and they put forth a great amount of energy into
developing and maintaining their close interpersonal relationships. They
expect the same from others.ESFJ Strengths

"To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as
the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to
joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know
was possible before." -- Rollo May
ESFJs are warmly caring people who give their intimate relationships a lot
of special care and attention. They're usually traditional and take their
commitments very seriously. Once the ESFJ has said "I do", you can bet that
they will put forth every effort to fulfill their obligations to the
relationship.
ESFJs want to be appreciated for who they are, and what they give to others.
This need of theirs is sometimes intensified to the point where they are
very emotionally needy, and constantly "go fishing" for affirmation if it is
not freely given. "yeah the need to be needed " ESFJs typically cannot stand conflict or criticism.
They take any sort of criticism as a general indictment of their character.
This is a potential pitfall for ESFJs to be aware of.
In the face of negative feedback, or the absence of positive affirmation,
ESFJ may become very depressed and down on themselves.
Appreciation is the greatest gift that their mates can give them.

close relationships.
home management. They're likely to be very responsible about taking care of
day-to-day needs, and to be careful and cautious about money matters. They
are interested in security and peaceful living, and are willing and able to
do their part towards acheiving these goals for themselves, their mates, and
their families.
Most ESFJs have a strong need to "belong" - whether it be to institutions
or traditions, or family units. This need usually causes them to be quite
social creatures, who enjoy attending parties, as well as throwing their own.
They're likely to strongly desire that their mates share in their social
experiences.
ESFJs as Friends
Although the ESFJ usually puts their family in front of their friends,
they do place a lot of importance on their close friendships, and feel
tremendous loyalty towards their friends. Since they feel tremendous
pressure in their lives to constantly "do their duty", they may sometimes
turn their friendships into another task or responsibility. Usually,
however, they get a lot of enjoyment from their friendships, and give
back a lot of affirming warmth.
There are a couple of ESFJ tendencies which may cause problems with their
casual and intimate friendships: 1) they don't give things freely - they
expect something in return, and 2) they have a difficult time believing anything
bad about someone close to them.
ESFJs are valued by others for their genuine interest in people, and for
their warmth and kind-heartedness. They have a special skill at seeing the
best in others, and making people feel good about themselves. As such, they
usually have a relatively large number of very close friends, usually of all
different personality types.
ESFJs are likely to have well-furnished, orderly and attractive homes.

They like to feel as if they belong to traditions and institutions, and are likely to have a relatively large group of people which they include in their social circles.
